Victor & Rolf at the Barbican
July 4, 2008
A lot of people have been talking and raving about the Victor & Rolf exhibition at The Barbican, so I went by to check it out.
I knew their clothes as kooky, and apart from a great (wax-seal) logo I didn't really have a great deal of awareness of their work.
Their approach seems much more like that of artists than fashion designers, and the presentation of their signature pieces (on full-size and scale-size dolls in a giant doll-house) straddles the two worlds.
Many of their show pieces and ideas are extreme, but unusually seem to be very easy to commercialise too. This show is very good - so check it out if it opens near you.
